Four Carcanet Poets selected for Next Generation Poets 2014

No Text
We're absolutely delighted to announce that four Carcanet poets have been selected for Next Generation Poets 2014!

Last Thursday, The Poetry Book Society released their once-in-a-decade list of 20 Next Generation poets who are expected to 'dominate the poetry landscape of the coming decade'. The selection shows the best of the emerging poets from the UK and Ireland who published their first collection of poetry within the last 10 years.

Among them, we're very proud to say, are Jane Yeh, Kei Miller, Rebecca Goss and Tara Bergin. The news has been announced by the BBC, in the Guardian, and also in the Telegraph. There was also an interview with fellow Next Generation Poet and Mercury Prize nominee, Kate Tempest, on BBC Radio 4's Today programme which you can listen to here (scroll to 01:42:50).
All 20 poets were interviewed for the Poetry Book Society YouTube channel where they also read a sample from their selected collections.

The successful Carcanet collections are as follows:

Jane Yeh - The Ninjas

Kei Miller - A Light Song of Light

Rebecca Goss - Her Birth

Tara Bergin - This is Yarrow

Congrats to all four poets!
